Paths of Peace
Road to the Fern Lake Trail
Rocky Mountain National Park

Go to the trees and get their good tidings. Have an autumn day in the woods, and beneath the airy arches of limbs and leaves linger in paths of peace. ~ Enos Mills

We are entering my favorite time of the year in the mountains. I can't wait for one more season of autumn in the woods.

So I thought I would dig back though some autumn images. This is an image from my favorite autumn day ever. The first image from that day. The beginning of a wondrous walk. We had just parked and Andrew took off down the road while I was still getting on my pack. I barely knew how to turn on a camera .. but still the images from this walk are some of my most treasured. One of the most beautiful days I have experienced on this earth.

The quote is from Enos Mills. Mills was a naturalist, photographer, and writer. He is largely responsible for the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park. For more information on Mills visit the site of the museum at his cabin (operated by his family):

Hi John,

Hello John,
The glorious shades of yellow, perfectly splayed against the blue of the sky; Andrew's yellow jacket as he becomes one with his surroundings--the perfect documentation of a day you still remember as perfect!
I hope to have one of these "autumn days" a week from today . . .
Thanks so much for sharing,
Karen

Amazing light...beautiful shot. Her expression is so natural.

Hi John, paths of peace, paths through the marvelous gold environment.
I like very much to have also the small detail of the snowy peaks in the background.

Beautiful colours of fall, and could you send a bit of that rain that fell there to our parts of the world? (just kidding).
